A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 306 Plotting Her Life

Mu Qingcheng could never have imagined that the adult she had just coaxed would crumble in an instant and turn back into a broken doll!
She tried to hug him, but he angrily took two steps back and slumped onto the bed, his eyes, veiled with tears, filled with resentment and sorrow!

Mu Qingcheng was so anxious she wanted to scratch her head. How did she end up with such a foolish and infatuated man?

做了两个深呼吸，穆青澄才忍下了想揍他的冲动，“那我就好奇了，你已经知道我是个不知检点，见异思迁的人，为何还要娶我？我不问，你也不说，是打算默默的让自己头上长满绿草吗？”

Song Shuyu immediately said, "No, you're not that kind of person. You just like good-looking men, and Lu Xun happens to be quite handsome. He's been coming to fawn over you. You... you're just bewitched by him. It's his fault. He's shameless. He knew we were mutually attracted, yet he still insisted on interfering!"

"Heh, heh..." Mu Qingcheng was so angry at his unbelievable thought process that she laughed. "Song Shuyu, you're quite good at convincing yourself!"

Song Shuyu was extremely dejected. "What else can I do? If I don't lower my stance and be humble, you'd rather look at a corpse than give me a second glance. I guess I'm just content with what I have."

Mu Qingcheng's anger dissipated instantly.

She suddenly realized that in this relationship, Song Shuyu had always been the one actively approaching her and making all sorts of sacrifices for her. And she, oblivious to his feelings, always took his affections for granted while simultaneously disliking his passion and directness. It seemed to him that she could easily walk away without being troubled by love.

Therefore, he lacked a sense of security. Not only did he lack security, but he also loved in a humble and insecure way.

Fortunately, she has a sense of self-reflection, and they still have plenty of time; she can acknowledge and correct her mistakes.

She moved closer, took his hand, and asked softly, "Sir, since you saw it, why don't you come in and see for yourself? I can explain this matter."

"I... I don't dare to go inside." Song Shuyu's eyes were lowered, her voice low. "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist getting jealous and angry, and that I'll annoy you. I'm also afraid that if we break through this barrier, there will be no future between us."

Mu Qingcheng was both angry and distressed. "Lu Xun injured his back, and I was applying medicine to him, that's all! Song Shuyu, if you had just come in and asked him a question, there wouldn't have been any misunderstanding!"

Song Shuyu's eyes widened in disbelief!
"Using the guise of 'for your own good' and 'for my own good,' they never speak up when things happen, only speculate wildly in their minds, causing misunderstandings, heartbreak, despair, and drowning their sorrows in alcohol. What good is that? If you have a mouth but can't use it, you might as well sew it up!"

Mu Qingcheng grew angrier the more she cursed. She was puzzled; normally, Song Shuyu would jump out to assert his dominance at the slightest provocation, but today he was unusually quiet, which was completely unlike his usual behavior! She naively thought that he had matured and stopped being jealous, but unexpectedly, he had hidden himself away to lick his wounds alone!

Song Shuyu held her hand and patted his mouth, his tone filled with the joy of surviving a disaster, "It's its fault, you hit it for me, but don't sew it up, it still needs to eat, and it still needs to kiss you."

"You...you shameless scoundrel!" Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh, but still put on a stern face and scolded, "In short, I'll reiterate to you one last time, I won't be annoyed by your jealousy, but you have to be mindful of the occasion and the person. If you're unsure whether something you hear or see is true or false, you can ask me for an explanation anytime. Don't be like a cowardly little wife who doesn't know how to talk, not asking in person but crying your eyes out in private!"

"Your wife's words of admonition are correct; I will remember them in the future!"

"Lu Xun and I, and no other man, could ever cross that line!"

"Ok!"

"My husband, Mu Qingcheng, must be magnanimous and confident! Because I love Song Shuyu, and I only love Song Shuyu. He is my exception and my only one!"

Mu Qingcheng had never confessed her feelings to Song Shuyu so passionately before. She was a reserved and introverted person, but in order to give Song Shuyu a sense of security, she had to break her habit and shamelessly tell him.

However, before the heat on her face had dissipated and her shyness had faded, her lips were swallowed by a passionate kiss.

Song Shuyu's eyes filled with tears; the turmoil in his heart was beyond words, and even kissing her felt insufficient. When he was nine, a snake had coiled around his ankle, and she had saved him. He said he was willing to repay her with his body.

At the age of twenty-one, he fainted and fell into the courtyard; she saved him. He said he was willing to repay her with his body.

When he was twenty-two, he was bitten on the ankle by a poisonous snake, and she saved him. His way of repaying her was always to give himself to her.

Therefore, his obsession with her for life became his love.

……

It was nearly midnight when Mu Qingcheng returned to the side room.

Bai Zhizhi lay sprawled on her bed, head tilted back, eyes staring at the ceiling, quietly lost in thought.

"Zhizhi?"

Mu Qingcheng was taken aback. She walked to the bedside, bent down, turned her head, and followed Bai Zhizhi's gaze to the ceiling. She asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

"Sister Mu." Bai Zhizhi's lips moved, and she made a dry sound. "I didn't see anything. I was just thinking about something, and I just haven't figured it out yet."

Mu Qingcheng sat down by the bed, reached out and stroked Bai Zhizhi's face, and asked gently with a smile, "What's wrong? Did Master Bai do something to upset you again?"

“He’s not a terrible dad. He treats me so well these days, he’d give me the stars and the moon. He can’t even bring himself to say a harsh word to me.”

"Who is that? Tell me, and Sister Mu will help you beat him up!"

"Sister Mu..." Bai Zhizhi blinked, her nose slightly red, "Tell me the truth, does Lord Lu like you?"

Mu Qingcheng's smile froze on her face. She didn't want to hurt the little girl, so she kept it a secret, but eventually the truth came out.

"When I went to the kitchen for dinner today, I overheard my colleagues whispering about you and Lord Lu. They said that Lord Lu calls you Qing'er and always talks to you alone. You even took Lord Lu to the side room, and no matter what you said, Lord Lu would listen. They also said that Lord Song is jealous about this, and everyone is worried that Lord Lu will steal you away..."

"Know!"

Mu Qingcheng interrupted, her brows furrowing slightly, "Don't overthink it. You know Lu Xun is my sworn brother. He's always called me Qing'er since we were little. We're completely innocent. The person I love is Song Shuyu!"

Bai Zhizhi paused for a moment, then concluded, "So, it's Lord Lu who likes you one-sidedly!"

It seems that simply keeping it a secret will only lead to greater misunderstandings and harm for Bai Zhizhi.

Having figured this out, Mu Qingcheng said, "Zhizhi, let me tell you the truth. My father arranged a verbal marriage between me and Lu Xun, but to me, Lu Xun is only like an older brother."
